Bangalore and my dad's plant nursery, will be my forever home, my heart. No other place in the entire world gives me so much happiness.... I enjoy capturing the sunset and sunrise
Work, running around my kids busy schedules, and blogging when I have time is what I have been doing these days. It has been pretty busy lately, but I'm not complaining. God has blessed me. My day starts with packing kids and hubby's lunchboxes. Each have their own habits. Kid 1 is very picky. Kid 2 eats wont complain. Hubbs does not take any Indian food to work. So, it's been an interesting ride to pack lunch boxes. Then its a long commute to work, and working all day. Weekday evenings are packed with kids and their sports schedules, followed by dinner. Blogging is usually reserved for late nights or weekends and holidays.
Being born and raised in Bangalore, South Indian food and culture is what I grew up loving! Many recipes here, are my signature creations. Some are recipes have been refined and revised from the traditional recipes, to suit today's lifestyle. My passion for baking and cooking in general, was picked up from my mom. We were three sisters who grew up with the most amazing childhood one could ask for. Amma was and still is the most amazing chef and baker! I have never see her ruin a recipe, she always makes it taste great, she tweaks every dish to perfection. Her curries, pilafs, cakes and those crispy dosas and pillow soft idlis, I can never make it like her in a hundred years. Her trick is her speed I guess. She works well under pressure. She can make many dishes at one go, multitasking is her middle name I'd say. Amma is a yoga fanatic and a certified Sogetsu Ikebana teacher as well.
Food and photography are two things that have always amazed and inspired me. My life constantly revolve around these, and now I have a chance to combine them into my own space /blog.
Kids are now teenagers, and will soon be off to college. Im trying to stop, breathe and take it all in, the good bad and ugly. Tantrums and frustration have become a daily norm. Amidst all of this, yoga and cooking keep me sane and grounded.
So, thank you for stopping by. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to email me at myfoodarama@gmail.com.
Slow down and enjoy today, never know if we will see tomorrow. Take care!
